BABY BLUE - 1990 City

[pearseof]

Hi, im Pearse and along with my father Derry we have grown a love for minis over the past few years. bought this project about 4 years ago and done bits and bats here and there so finally decided to crack into it and get her finished.

she is a 1000 cc 1990 city with 66k on the clock. engine or a bit was not running when i bought her but took a chance.

on my easter break from college at the moment so working on her every day in the garage, got her running today for the forst time, and have been reassembling her slowly from the remains that i got with her when i bought her. have aquired alot of parts over the years.

took a few pics over the past month or so



schutz her inside the boot and inside the car itself



full colour change she was originally white then purple
